I personally prefer tu-tones of the era. White/blue/white...red/white/red...green/white/green and a handful of others. If you go tu-tone, I advise full racetrack trim...or breakup lines. My favorite solid color on a dentside is dark brown metallic (with tons of metallic). With this I advise just the upper trim with wheel well moldings. In either case, trim needs to be new and vibrant or it will detract from the fresh paint.
I've also seen a color from Mike Lavalee's line that I believe is called burnt black cherry metallic that I think would have a unique sinister look on a dentside.

If you have a grey interior go with red outer/grey inner (1st attach pic) Or what ever 2 colors that work for you, match the interior color with a small amount applied on the outside.
If you have no race track/center chrome try the red-black route (pic#2). You can always easily change out your outer grill shell/bumpers/fender lip/mirrors with chrome pieces to change the look if you ever get tired of it later down the road.
Ford blue and white is also always cool, IMO

The factory paint glows, when I had first rubbing compounded and then waxed and buffed out, it was amazing,,, came out of rite-aid after buyin beer, had a guy just standing there staring at it,, he asked "who painted this?!" I said Ford Motor Company,, he couldn't beleive how good it looked,,, course now it is due for another good cleaning and buffing, a few years of wood cuttin/huntin brush pinstriping needs to be cleaned off!
